Review: Topshop Lip Crayon "Suspect"

I've been ever so curious about these lip crayons from topshop. I rarely go into the shop but since they started bringing out make up I tend to pop in a little bit more often. I picked up a few products which I will review of course here on the blog. First up, Lip Crayon in Suspect.

This crayon has a smooth texture when first applied. You can apply it for a full on effect of super strong dark plum colour or you can have a lighter appliction with an added balm. When first applied the colour is gorgeous and it does have a shine. But it does dry to a matte finish.

The first time I wore this I went on for the full on effect. I found my lips quite dry as I wore it and started topping up with some lip balm (carmex). Since it had a matte finish, I found the product didn't smudge throughout the day but it was quite drying on my lips.

Ever since I wore this, my preference is to wear this crayon mixed with carmex or vaseline and then applied to the lips. Doing this I don't dry out my lips, although it will slightly move on the lips especially through eating, drinking and of course talking!

Wearing Suspect - with carmex mixed with it in London :)
Although there is a more redish tint to it?
